Jester, prophet and conscience

"A spirited scrum master is Feste, the court jester in Twelfth Night, speaking truth to power. She is an Old Testament prophet, leading the people back to their true path, and he is Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio, sitting on the shoulder of the organisation, its whispering conscience." — Scrum Note 41, 2017

Poet and artisan

"The scrum master is an organisational poet. Her material is not language, but environments and relationships. The scrum master sits on the edge of the corporate melee, thoughtfully figuring out how to rescue lost souls from hierarchical, procedural hell, free them up to become the creative humans God made them to be, while at the same time calming the fires of hubris, vanity, indignation, and self-righteousness that threaten to consume them." — What is a Scrum Master?, 2023
